Are you familiar with Right to Choose?

In England, NHS patients have a legal right to choose healthcare providers, this includes who carries out an autism, ADHD or combined assessment.

Via Right to Choose your GP may ask you to select the service you want (if deemed clinically appropriate), or you can ask them to refer you to us at Evolve. The assessment is paid for in full by your local NHS or your local Integrated Care Board- ICB.

🤝We also offer a private assessment route. The wait list for this is shorter than the Right to Choose pathway, you can request our pricing brochures via this link https://evolvepsychology.com/private-assessments

We really appreciate our clients taking the time to write reviews, your feedback is important for helping us improve our services. 💚

See the rest of the review below...

'...Elaine really listened when I was talking about our daughter’s life timeline, her questions were well thought out and made the whole process easier to manage in what is a stressful time.
The results were back a week or 2 earlier than planned and again Elaine was really helpful and supportive.
The ease at which this was all executed has really made the entire process a positive experience, and plans are now in place at school, all within the first half term of high school.
A massive thanks to all involved.'

Our goal is to provide the best possible and most personable experience, and sometimes, due to high demand or unforeseen circumstances, wait times can fluctuate. ⏳ We appreciate your patience and want you to know that we’re constantly working to get to your assessment.

“My child has friends, so they can’t be autistic.”

This is a common misconception - but it’s simply not true. 🧐

Autistic people experience the world and relationships differently. They can and do have meaningful friendships, those friendships just might look a little different from what others expect.

Some individuals find it easier to connect with others who share their interests or who are also neurodivergent. Others might prefer one-on-one connections rather than large social groups. And for some, socialising can be joyful yet tiring - especially when masking or mirroring behaviours to fit in.

Friendship isn’t about how many friends you have or how “social” you appear, it’s about connection, understanding, and acceptance.

So instead of assuming what autism “looks like,” let’s listen, learn, and celebrate the many beautiful ways autistic people connect with the world and the people around them. 🤝

For many, Bonfire Night is a time of joy, community, and colour - but for others, the bright lights and sudden sounds can trigger feelings of anxiety or distress. 🔥💥

The unpredictability of fireworks can heighten our body’s stress response and overstimulate our senses, triggering that instinctive “fight or flight” system that’s designed to keep us safe. 🧠

If you or someone you care about finds this time of year difficult, here are a few gentle ways to stay grounded and calm:

😌Breathe deeply and slowly - try breathing in for 4 counts, holding for 4, and exhaling for 6. This helps signal to your body that you are safe.
🎧Use ear defenders, headphones, or calming music to soften the intensity of loud noises.
🔆Create a calm environment - dim lighting, comfortable blankets, and familiar scents can help your nervous system settle.
🐾Look after your pets - they can pick up on your stress and may need extra reassurance too.
🤫Alternative arrangements - there are many places that do silent or low-bang fireworks that might be more suited to neurodivergent individuals, see a couple below...

🎆Monk Park Farm 'low-bang' display - https://www.monkparkfarm.co.uk/news/%F0%9F%94%A5%F0%9F%8E%86-fireworks-at-the-farm-%F0%9F%8E%86%F0%9F%94%A5/
🎆Wroxham Barns 'low-bang' display - https://www.wroxhambarns.co.uk/plan-your-visit/whats-on/low-bang-fireworks/

It’s okay if celebrations feel overwhelming. You’re allowed to take things at your own pace, to stay home, to find quiet moments, and to care for your wellbeing first.

'when we can't feel like we belong in a setting or we don't feel comfortable, we can't connect...' 😔

It's important to know you're not alone in this. 🤝

Recognition that means the world!

We’re so pleased to share that Evolve has been shortlisted for a Yorkshire Post Business Award, for our work supporting neurodivergent people and those who care for them.
It’s a wonderful boost for our dedicated team and we’re proud to represent neuroinclusion on this Yorkshire stage.

As well as the expertise and service excellence that’s at the heart of Evolve’s assessments for neurodivergency, the judges were looking for business growth.

We employ clinical psychologists, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, SpLD assessors, paediatric nurses, neurodevelopmental practitioners, mental health nurses and the valued non-clinical colleagues who ensure we are organised for our clients.

Wish us luck for the awards next month! 🤞

Did you know Evolve is a family business? Being shortlisted for a Family Business Award seems a good time to tell a little of our story... 🦋

We were founded by our CEO, Dr Laura Powling 11 years ago. As the business grew, so did Laura and her husband James’ family with the births of their children. After lots of juggling, that we know many of you will relate to, James joined the business, as Chief Operations Officer, in 2023, bringing to Evolve lots of experience from large businesses, for example in systems and tech. This has helped Evolve’s clinicians to focus on giving expert and empathetic, personalised care to our clients, while our processes mature behind the scenes as we grow. 🌱

We’re so excited that our story meant something to the Yorkshire and Humberside Family Business Awards judges who have named us as a finalist for Business Services Excellence. Wish us luck for the awards next month!🤞🏆
